Ten Fingers

THREE horses are drinking,
Three horses are feeding,
The two men are fighting,
The old woman pleading,
The baby is crying,
But no one is heeding.

Face Game

KNOCK at the door,
See a face,
Smell an odor,
Hear a voice,
Eat your dinner,
Pull your chin, or
Ke chih, ke chih.

The Flower Seller

FLOWERS for sale,
Flowers for sale,
Come, buy my flowers,
Before they get stale.

Making a Flower Pot

YOU first cross over and then cross back,
And step in the well as you cross the track,
And then there is something else you do,
Oh, yes, you make a flower-pot too.
